Hello All,
I am a first time car buyer and I need to decide between brio, i10 and swift.
My monthly usage will typically be a max of 800 km and I plan to have 3 highway runs per year out of bangalore which may be max 600-800 kilometers.
I liked brio except the following factors
1. 3 average sized people can't sit comfortably in the back especially on long runs
2. the boot space can have only 2 medium sized bags
3. A little lack of pick up in 2nd gear
4. Poor suspension on rough roads
5. slightly expensive service and parts would be quite expensive than maruti
6. the gear box is not so smooth as a swift
I earlier wanted to go with swift/ritz petrol but I saw that maruti does not even give a music system and remote locking in the VXI variants.
When I checked with the honda dealers there is a decent amount of cash discount + insurance which makes similar BRIO variant approximately 60k-70k cheaper than swift petrol + they are giving a number of free accessories which maruti dealers deny.
However swift will have a much higher resale value then brio.
My query is due to the above -ve factors in BRIO, what is the anticipated resale value of a brio after say 3, 4, 5 years.
Please also let me know if there are any advantages if I go with swift/i10.
